What does it mean when my 3 month old grabs her ears while crying?

Mom Answers

She might have an ear infection, or it might just be a habit she's developing. I would make an appt. w/ the pediatrician just in case. Our son started getting ear infections around 4 months w/ increasing frequency/severity, and just yesterday at 15 months, he got tubes in his ears.
